Stories of sexism/racism in cycling

I remember taking my wife to a bike shop. We were thinking about a new bike for her - going from racing bike to hybrid or something. She was on her bike, so we mentioned that the handlebar tape had unraveled. We had just bought the bike there recently and it had already unraveled. It was annoying. The guy tried to tell her that that's just what happens. I jumped in and told him she only had 400 miles on the bike. I pointed to mine and told him mine was intact after 6000 miles.

This guy was clearly trying to take advantage of a novice rider, a woman, a black woman. That's not good for the sport. He relented and put new bar tape on but that's bad policy. Any others have stories like this?
